The Walking Stick is a 1967 thriller novel by the British writer Winston Graham. The central character, Deborah Dainton, is a disabled woman lacking in self confidence, who unexpectedly becomes involved with an enigmatic man from a different background.
Graham said that “judged solely by financial criteria, [it was] the most successful novel I’ve ever written”.[1]

In 1970 the story was turned into a film of the same title directed by Eric Till and starring David Hemmings and Samantha Eggar.[2]
